Reasons To Go Organic
Here at Organicliving4you.com our goal is to educate the public on the importance of living an organic lifestyle. We dedicate this site to those who want to make this positive change in their lives. Going organic means that you are making a commitment to the environment and your health. Originally all food was produced organically, but over time farmers started to pollute our food and the environment with pesticides and herbicides which have now been linked to several different cancers including breast, prostrate and colon cancer. In the United States alone it is estimated that over 1500 people die from some type of cancer each day! When we mess with nature there are serious consequences.
Pesticides are known carcinogens which means that they are known to cause cancer. Pesticides are indeed very strong chemicals which are able to kill living organisms. They can kill a variety of bugs and they can severely affect the human body when we are exposed to excessive amounts. We live in a toxic environment, but this can change and the more people who support the organic industry better. There are ways to produce healthy crops through natural measures and using natural predators found in nature. Even lady bugs have been known to help certain crops. Once you start eating organic fruits, vegetables and meats you will notice that they are superior in quality, and taste. They are packed with more vitamins, and these foods are not saturated with toxic chemicals.
Buying organic benefits everyone especially children. Ethically it also protects our animals in addition to promoting the welfare of humans in the third world through Fair Trade. There are so many advantages to eating organic that benefit your health. Eating organic meat and produce is one of the things you can to do to safeguard your health and help to prevent cancer.
Organic Farming Helps our Environment
*Encourages the numbers of natural organism to flourish which help to fight diseases
*Increases soil fertility
*Allows plants and animals to boost their natural resistance to disease instead of relying on antibiotics or fungicides for example.
Making a commitment to go organic means that you are making it a priority help to support the environment as well as the health of your entire family. The term Organic means it is legally regulated under the USDA standards to meet certain qualifications. Organic means that the produce grown was not produced with chemical pesticides or herbicides. Organic beef and chicken means that the animals were fed only organic feed without the use of antibiotics or hormones. The cosmetic industry is not as heavily regulated as the food industry. When buying cosmetics or bath products check to see that the product is labeled organic rather than just labeled as "natural." Manufactures can label a product as natural if at least one percent of the ingredients came from natural sources. Our bodies absorb 60% or more of what we put on skin.

Create Your Own Organic Garden
*First get a wooden box about 2 feet deep and 3 to 5 feet long and about 2 feet wide. Be sure to clean the box and make 5 small holes at the bottom for water to be drained out.
*Get some fresh garden soil that has no pesticides or artificial manure mixed in it. Mix the soil thoroughly and cover the holes in the box with some mesh wire or small pebbles.
*Then put the mixed soil into the box. Select seedlings from your favorite foods or plants and be sure to keep distance between each seed so that the food has room to grow. Be sure to water your seeds and make sure that they don't get too much rain or sun. Check the drainage to be sure that it is not blocked or too much water in the soil as this will destroy the crop. It is best to divide your garden out into sections such as fruits, vegetables, flowers etc. You can also use compost to help your garden flourish.
